title: [The hidradenocarcinoma of the wrist - an extremely rare malignant carcinoma: case presentation and literature review].
abstract: Hidradenocarcinomas are rare, yet highly malignant tumors of eccrine sweat gland origin. Due to its locally aggressive growth and likelihood for metastasis it should be considered as a differential diagnosis especially in case of suspicious intraoperative findings. We report the case of a 73-year-old female patient presenting with a hidradenocarcinoma of the wrist. Treatment of hidradenocarcinomas is similar to the treatment of sarcomas: The first step is an incisional biopsy and obtaining an expert second opinion on the histopathological diagnosis as well as staging. The second step is a clear margin resection of the tumor and the plastic-surgical reconstruction. A long-term follow-up is mandatory to detect potential recurrence or metastasis.
